Ira Cassius 'Ike' Kepford, an ace pilot with 16 confirmed kills on Japanese aircraft. You may look it familiar, the look is pretty similar to 'Skipper', a character from Disney Planes animated movie, it's because Skipper and his Squadron, the Jolly Wrenches is a parody from the real Jolly Rogers Squadron. While the livery I choose for this paper model is based on carrier and one of the 'Jolly Rogers Squadron'.
That squadron is lead by Major Pappy Boyington and based on an airstrip in one of the pacific island. I love watching that show on every Sunday at noon. I already fan this plane since I was a kid, there was a TV series titled 'Black Sheep Squadron' back in 80s. The reason I make this template is Corsair is a beautiful and unique plane. The scale of this template is 1:33, the same scale as my previous P51D Mustang. In paper model you still need to add color while in RC plane you can apply color with paint. Designing paper model template is pretty similar with designing plans for my RC plane, but making paper model template is a lot harder. Many friends wanted a paper model version of it so I made this. I made a 1:8 scale model of this aircraft that can really fly made out of depron foam. This F4U Corsair paper model template is one of my design that was derived from my foam RC plane plans.
